Baghdad Municipality has taken precautionary measures and preventive procedures in anticipation of oil slicks in the Tigris River reaching Baghdad Governorate. An oil slick recently arrived with torrents coming from valleys near the Baiji refinery in Salah al-Din Governorate to the Tigris River, at a time when the Ministry of Water Resources reassured that it was in the process of disappearing. The Director of the Baghdad Water Department, Eng. Hekmat Abdul Majeed, told Al-Sabah: The Municipality is following up on these slicks in coordination with the Ministry of Water Resources, as they have reached Salah al-Din Governorate and may reach Baghdad today, Wednesday. He pointed out that precautionary measures and procedures have been taken by checking and securing the barrier rubber belts, in addition to visual inspection to avoid the spread of small slicks to water production projects as they cause technical malfunctions and collateral damage, noting that all sites overlooking the Tigris River witnessed work on preventive measures before the slick reached Baghdad Governorate. Abdul Majeed explained that the department reassures the residents of the capital about the safety of the water reaching them, especially the water produced through 13 production projects and 83 complexes, as it is subject to daily tests by laboratories before the pumping process. He explained that the citizen's share is 400 cubic liters of drinking water per day, while the quantities of pure water produced by the municipality's projects reach 4 million and 205 cubic liters per day.
He pointed out that the waste rate sometimes reaches 50 percent of the quantities produced, i.e. more than two million cubic meters per day, for several reasons, most notably the violations that occur on the main lines transporting drinking water, and the population fragmentation represented by dividing the houses into small residential units, which caused pressure on the main water system.
The Salah al-Din Water Directorate confirmed that work is continuing to clean the Tigris River, remove oil stains, and restore water pumping to Baiji district, while mobilizing efforts to also restore it to the city of Tikrit.
